I’ve been following this woman & her birds (& fish!) online for a few years. A documentary was made about her & her incredibly smart girls. If you like parrots or animal communication; or stories of cult survivors, this is for you! Sad I have to wait a week. #parrot

I’m not a fan of the “heart” response on Bluesky being the only response. I keep hearting Alt NP’s posts, because I’m happy they’re sharing, not because I agree w the horrible things they’re having to report.

No media catwalk, no rockstar egos-just pure generosity.
He quietly changed lives❤️

That is what is happening in our government right now.

You hire someone to figure out how you could save money. You expect them to ask for your bank ledger and credit card statements (w/o account #s on them). What would you do if they broke into your house, stole your computers, and kicked everyone out, saying “there’s money laundering going on here”?
